About the 2013 / 2014 UPPAbaby Vista Stroller

Just how is it that so many people feel so passionately about an inanimate object? Urban parents don’t just like their UPPAbaby Vista Stroller, or enjoy using their Vista Stroller, or appreciate how simple the Vista is to use. The word our customers use when they talk about their UPPAbaby Vista Stroller is “love.” They adore the Vista. They’re crazy about it. They’re downright infatuated with this baby stroller. And so are we!

And really, who could resist a stroller that’s this fully-featured, this easy to push and steer, and this elegant? The 2013 /2014 UPPAbaby Vista Stroller retains all of the features from 2012; instead of mucking with their very popular formula, UPPAbaby is simply offering their classic stroller in two additional colors. Choose from the deep-indigo Taylor, or the jade-green Ella, both in the same eco-friendly organic cotton and soybean fabrics.

If you’re not familiar with this Grande Dame of city strollers, here’s what the 2013 /2014 UPPAbaby Vista has in store for you:

The smoothest stroll: With chunky never-flat foam tires, sealed wheel bearings, and four-wheel suspension, the UPPAbaby Vista pushes and turns like a dream. Uneven pavement, curbs, subway tracks, and other urban roadblocks won’t slow you down or wake your baby.

Kid comfort: The 2013 /2014 UPPAbaby Vista Stroller comes complete with a cozy stroller bassinet that’s perfect for naptime on the go; you can open and close ventilation in the bassinet frame to give baby some air, or keep out the chill. The bassinet includes a carrying handle, an apron, and a sun/bug shield. And when baby is ready to sit up, he can ride facing you or facing the world in the luxuriously roomy UPPAbaby Vista toddler seat, which has five recline positions, including fully-flat and fully-upright.

Riding high: No staring at Mommy’s knees for your baby in the Vista Stroller; the high seating position puts your baby close to you in the bassinet or toddler seat, so you can keep a close eye on him, and he can gaze up at your lovely face.

Super storage: The 2013 /2014 UPPAbaby Vista Stroller is famous for its enormous under-seat basket, which makes this the ultimate cargo stroller for families who want to minimize driving. Take your Vista Stroller to the grocery store or the farmer’s market and load up the stroller basket with bags – you’ll be amazed at how much you can fit!

Protection from the elements: The Vista Stroller’s generously-sized canopy is made with SPF 50+ sun protection, and it has a pop-out extension for more coverage. Even with the height-adjustable stroller canopy fully extended, though, it’s easy to check on baby – the peek-a-boo windows open and close with completely silent magnets, so there’s no risk of waking baby up. If the weather becomes unfriendly, you’re prepared: your 2014 UPPAbaby Vista comes with a weather shield and a sun/bug shield, too.

Can you handle it? The stroller handlebar is height-adjustable, making the UPPAbaby Vista a favorite with taller parents.

Easy fold: The UPPAbaby Vista Stroller has a modular design that makes it easy to fold one-handed, with or without the seat.

Made with welded and formed aircraft aluminum, the Vista Stroller’s frame can handle tons of heavy use – which is important, since this stroller is meant to carry kids up to 50 pounds, and has a large enough seat to accommodate a four-year-old. And this is a single stroller that can do double duty: get an UPPAbaby Rumble Seat for plus-one seating, and a Piggyback Ride-On Board, and you can stroll with three! Car seat adapters are also available to turn your Vista Stroller into a travel system.

So it’s no surprise that the UPPAbaby Vista Stroller inspires such undying devotion: you’re going to use your 2014 Vista every day for years, and you’re going to love every minute of it.

MAGIC BEANS STAFF TIP: You can fold the UPPAbaby Vista Stroller with the stroller seat on, and if the brake is unlocked, you can pull the stroller like a dolly, which makes it so much easier to get up the front steps of your brownstone apartment!

Q: How is the 2014 UPPAbaby Vista Stroller different from the 2013 model?A: It isn't! UPPAbaby made no changes in their line for 2014. Read more on the Spilling the Beans blog.

Love it!

Pros:

Very versatile, durable

Cons:

Telescoping handle doesn't go low enough, bassinet "hangs" low

With all the snow we've had in the northeast this winter we have been very thankful for the larger back wheels and the locking front wheels to help navigate through the partially shoveled sidewalks. The bassinet has eased overnight travel to grandparents' houses. The sun shade is amazing and supported nap-taking on long walks. Our wee one isn't big enough for the seat yet. The bassinet rides "low" and makes putting things in and taking things out of the mesh basket underneath. We're thrilled with this stroller and wishing.....maybe....we should have bought the car seat adapter??

Fabulous! Love it!

Pros:

Light, collapses easily, smooth ride for baby, stylish.

Cons:

Wide, front wheel sometimes randomly locks after collapsing it.

I did a lot of research before purchasing this stroller and am glad I did. I wanted one that had a basinet and that would stand upright once collapsed. I was torn between the Uppa Vista and the Bugaboo but ultimately decided on the Uppa because it collapsed more easily and would also stand upright once collapsed, a feature I thought would be helpful because I have a small front foyer and can fold and stand it up in the corner. Also, since it stands upright I'm not forced to lay it on the restaurant floor... which seems like a cleaner option.

The ride is smooth for baby and the basinet is comfy with a big sunscreen. I also love the big basket which holds a lot of stuff!

Easy process, not too many choices. I like how the selection is curated for me. I knew all the car seats sold on the website would be the best quality and - most importantly - safe.

Magic Beans is...magic. Their helpfulness is unparalleled in the retail industry, and they are always prompt in responding to questions. In fact, the owners regularly make videos that review products and compare them so you have a sense of what the differences are before even entering the store. But their retail staff is JUST as knowledgeable and will never pressure you to purchase anything. They're like the Apple Store for baby stuff - they will help you figure out what works best for you, let you try out items before buying, and their goal seems to be your satisfaction rather than a bottom line for their store. It's fantastic!

Great store and staff. Worked with Mike who was very knowledgeable. He offered great advice and didn't get the feeling like he was always trying to sell me something. Mike went above and beyond for us during this process with our first child. Thank you!

I love magic beans staff, they are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Baby shopping cannot get better than this. They have a great collection of everything a baby needs.

I found Magic Beans while researching strollers on YouTube. The videos were extremely helpful so I thought I would purchase from the store. My stroller was received in record time. I decided on the UPPAbaby Minu because of the description on the videos and it is exactly what I was looking for. I am extremely pleased and will happily recommend. Thank you! The videos were also fun to watch.

I love shopping and supporting Magic Beans and local small businesses! Their customer service is top notch and they go above and beyond to help you. Their pricing is also competitive and fair. I know I'm getting quality products from a knowledgeable retailer.

Best place ever to shop for strollers and baby carriers! The staff is knowledgeable and warm. I spent over an hour here to learning about strollers, car seats, baby wraps, etc. I placed an order and the stroller arrived very quickly. A must stop for baby equipment.

Magic Beans has a well-curated selection of awesome goods! The employees know their stuff and always steer us in the right direction. It is our go-to store for our new baby.

We all want to buy from local places. Frequently, however, we are disappointed, because either the price is prohibitive or the service is lacking.

Magic Beans is an anomaly. The pricing is competitive and the people know their stuff. I have had a number of interactions with MB over the last 6 months and have purchased the stroller, the car seat and the attachment for the seat into the stroller as well as a number of accessories, toys and games.

At every point, they provided the right advice...and as a bonus helped me assemble and disassemble the various hardware. They went out of their way to help especially during a stressful time.

So if you want to be happy with the latest baby hardware, go to Magic Bean first...This is a first rate locally owned business.
